Lots of news out of palace today. Guehi joining city (sigh) glasner leaving at end of the season, mateta will be sold. So would glasner and/or mateta appeal to anyone on here? I think if I asked that 6 months ago the answer might be different to now, seems his stock has fallen lately but he’s a very good manager with a record of success at both palace and Frankfurt.
To have 2 trophies for palace in the last 12 months is fantastic by any metric.

I would say no and no, but what do I know? Glassener I don't really know enough about, but my preference would be Tuchel, I've warmed to him since he started with England.
Mateta doesn't inspire me, very hit and miss.

It amazes me these so called pundits laud the glasners and iraola’s. Last 2 seasons crystal palace have finished 10/12 and bornemouth last 3 seasons 15/12/9 they are mid table managers.
We should not be looking at these types of managers. I can’t see it inspiring the squad or future players.
We need someone who has been there and done it consistently.
Glasner has won a europa league in Germany that’s it and some would say it’s a weak league. His league finishes in those 2 seasons 11/7. Mid table manager.

No to glasner for me a poor manager and worse person.
Mateta would be good option to have with sesko for the right price we need another striker next year if we are serious about challenging on all fronts.
Somebody suggested ilyman ndiaye yesterday too which I thought was a great shout for the left wing.
Murillo from forest is also being linked who I wouldn't be against either.

All about opinions ajh, I’m not sure I know what type of manager we need if I’m honest. We’ve tried all sorts and for the most part it hasn’t worked. Anyways it’s INEOS ideas that matter and I don’t think any of us could guess what they’ll do next.

There are many better managers out there then Glasner, he done extremely well with no budget at palace, but we should not be entertaining him, but SJR done stupid things from day one up to now appointment of Carrick being the latest stupid idea, so he probably will continue to do so, it’s a tough team to support atm from top to bottom, mind you the way Ineos are losing money is it any wonder…You can buy Nice FC now for a few Francs as that’s the era Jim lives in.

I think it's a bit rich to suggest that Glasner is a poor manager, and without knowing the guy personally and only going off of hearsay I'm not really in a position to judge him as a person.
However, as good a job as he has done at his previous clubs, I'm just not a fan of how his teams play. Far to reductive and pragmatic.
